Vscode-gitlens: git command error on GitLens 9.7.0 (unknown '-M' option)

[zedaav]

• GitLens Version: 9.7.0
  
• VSCode Version: 1.33.1
• OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
• git version: 2.17.1

I'm just getting this behavior from this morning, once GitLens got updated to 9.7.0
I tried with different workspaces, and I'm still getting the error.
When I install back 9.6.3 version, the behavior disappears.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Just open a file in VS Code, and try to display any Gitlens view (Repository, File History...)
2. I get a notification with the following error:

Command failed: /usr/bin/git -c core.quotepath=false -c color.ui=false -c color.status=false status --porcelain=v2 -M -- Makefile
error: unknown switch `M'
usage: git status [] [--] ...

-v, --verbose         be verbose
-s, --short           show status concisely
-b, --branch          show branch information
--show-stash          show stash information
--ahead-behind        compute full ahead/behind values
--porcelain[=<version>]
                      machine-readable output
--long                show status in long format (default)
-z, --null            terminate entries with NUL
-u, --untracked-files[=<mode>]
                      show untracked files, optional modes: all, normal, no. (Default: all)
--ignored[=<mode>]    show ignored files, optional modes: traditional, matching, no. (Default: traditional)
--ignore-submodules[=<when>]
                      ignore changes to submodules, optional when: all, dirty, untracked. (Default: all)
--column[=<style>]    list untracked files in columns

Output logs:
output-gitlens.txt
output-gitlens-git.txt

update git to last version helped

[eamodio]

Damn, sorry all. It looks like that parameter is only support in Git 2.18 or later. I'll push out a new release shortly to fix this.

git version 2.17.1.windows.2 here, seeing the same error.

[eamodio]

9.7.1 will be in the marketplace very shortly -- sorry for the issue!

[dalisoft]

On macOS helped upgrade git with Homebrew and echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile then restart VSCode.
@eamodio thanks for fast reply and fix
